Bacchus Bracket
This bracket bears that face of the god of wine Bacchus/Dionysus. Dionysus (or Dionysos;
also known as Bacchus in both Greek and Roman mythology and associated with the

also its social and beneficent influences. He is viewed as the promoter of civilization, a
lawgiver, and lover of peace — as well as the patron deity of both agriculture and the theater.
Greeks borrowed Dionysus. He is the son of Zeus and Semele.
